View from Elephant Rock

This photograph uses a High-Dynamic Range (HDR) technique and artistic software filters to impart a painterly appearance.

This incredible view is just a short hike up the east side of Crawford Notch in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The view includes U.S. route 302 as it curves around tiny Saco Lake, the headwaters of the Saco River. The historic Crawford Notch train depot on the left side near the train tracks is still used by the Conway Scenic Railroad, a tourist attraction in North Conway. The AMC Highland Center is the large building between the lake and background mountains.
